Monday's special day

Normally I don’t blog about personal stuff, meaning relationships rather than incidents of a personal nature, but today is an exception.

Yesterday was the day I met my stepdaughter’s new partner, Frank, for the first time. My Guy knows him, of course, since he spent two holiday periods with them in Australia.

I have to say that Ros’s man is a terrific bloke. He’s Italian cum Australian, and like a true Iti/Oz bloke he’s very friendly. On top of that he has a sense of humour .. and what’s more he loves to play Scrabble on the iPhone. Like me! Yea, we have something in common. But his main attribute is making Ros happy ... it's wonderful to see that.

We went for a meal at the Boathouse, one of my favourite restaurants by a lake in Sutton Park. I know I’ve mentioned the place before but I still took pictures for the blog. All in all the day was a great success and there’s more to come.

I think the world of my stepdaughter. She’s good looking and has super intelligence. She has achieved a lot in her life and I am so proud of her. She’s certainly is a credit to her Dad.

Ros doesn’t often read my blog so she may not see this post. However, just in case she pops her head in I just want to say: Thank you for being you. I love you dearly.

The drive through the woods

to the boathouse

Isn't it a pretty entrance?

We were given a table with a view

This was my starter, mushrooms with gorgonzola

My main course was steak, cooked to perfection, with an huge variety of vegetables to go with it. and served with a very special sauce

Dessert was a chocolate something or other. I can never remember fancy names but I do remember that it tasted pretty good.

The scene outside ... fabulous!
